1. GMROI DISPLAYED ON EVERY ITEM |
 |
| |

The Paladin POS software shows the GMROI on every item in your inventory. The gross margin return on investment is the best way to determine the true performance and ultimately the profitability of an inventory item. In addition, the investment level and gross profit from the previous 52 weeks are displayed on each inventory item. [Back to Top] |

3. TRACK SELLING TRENDS FOR INVENTORY ITEMS |
 |
| |

The Paladin POS inventory management section features a very informative sales graph that is generated dynamically and is based on the weekly sales totals for the previous 52 weeks. An item's historical performance for upcoming weeks is shown on the graph too. The graph displays an item's seasonal performance and gives store owner’s one more tool to help understand seasonal variations in stock levels. This will improve cash flow and consequently, an item's GMROI ranking. [Back to Top] |

4. MONITOR INVENTORY SHRINKAGE |
 |
| |

The inventory management section of the Paladin POS software also displays an item's shrinkage (the amount of the item "disappearing" from your inventory) and the financial loss suffered. Monitoring shrinkage is essential to a store's profitability as it tells store owner’s how much product is being stolen or lost during the last 52 week period. [Back to Top] |

Overstock levels can be monitored individually within the inventory section. Being aware of overstocked items enables Paladin POS to calculate the approximate amount of wasted investment dollars caused by keeping too much stock on hand. [Back to Top] |

6. FORECASTING |
 |
| |

Effective forecasting is an essential component of operating a successful retail store. Ordering too much inventory increases the amount of time the product sits on a shelf, thereby reducing your profit and the return on investment (GMROI). Ordering too little inventory means there is a likelihood that you will run out of product and miss sales opportunity. This too has a very negative effect on your store. The Paladin POS software calculates inventory needs by utilizing past sales data and advanced inventory needs forecasting technology to accurately predict future sales allowing you to order efficiently.
